I was wondering if you get premium can other people who don’t have premium play with you? I was wondering as I have a group of friends I play with and I willing to buy the maps if I can play with them even if they don’t have it.

Whenever I go to automatch it says something like "waiting for players 1 / 6" but then the game always starts with just 4. I don't see an option in the filters for number of players. I would love this option/feature. I know that I could just create my own game, but I prefer automatches because its way less likely that people will be able to cheat or collude.

So, I was playing Risk for Nintendo Switch a couple days ago and developed my new strategy for the game, and I would like for you guys to read through it and give me some feedback. Strategy works best with 3 or more players.

The first thing I do is take over North America at all costs and secure the border. I don´t worry about anywhere else because the other players will be fighting each other for those territories so it´s unlikely that one player would secure the other continents with the exceptions of Australia and South America.

The second thing I do once I´ve gathered enough troops is invade South America in one move and secure Brazil.

Shortly after this I take over Iceland, North Africa, and Kamchatka to prevent any other players from completely taking over Europe, Africa, or Asia.

The fourth step in my plan is to gather up enough forces to wipe out Africa. First I take the southern countries and then head up north to secure the borders up north. After this I move troops back to North Africa to prevent any breaches into Brazil.

After I build up my armies some more I wipe out the least defended of the following territories: Scandinavia and Great Britain, Yakutsk, Irkutsk, Mongolia, and Japan, or West Europe, South Europe, and the Middle East.

Basically the next few steps is to squeeze out the enemies territories out of Asia and Europe, and eventually Australia.

This is my strategy, but I would like you guys to let me know if it needs improvements, thanks.

Will have family here for the full thanksgiving week and many of us love risk, but looking for something more-involved and not as easily lopsided as classic risk that we can setup and play for a multi-day-game. I want this to be a physical board and I have room, materials and time to create anything you have in mind that works well for a good 2-3 day game. Or do I just need to get Axis and Allies or Settlers of Catan? We'll have 5 - 10 players.

I am enjoying the Zombie Apocalypse but the OCD in me really wants to know the rules for the zombies so I have a good strategy. What determines how many troops they get? How are the rolls determined (I seem to win much easier against the zombies...looks like ties go to offense?) Do they get continent bonuses?

I've looked and all I can find is the promo stuff, not actual rules. Any ideas?

This is an Idea that I think might make the gameplay more strategic. I basically stole it from Diplomacy, but I think it might fit Risk as well.
Each player would write down attacks and troop movements for their next turn at the end of the current one, but it would be possible to not execute them.
